Yeah, we know there are black Chinese minorities, and now that mixed African Chinese kids are all over Guangzhou and Beijing, Black folks outchea claiming China in the story my boy sent me:

"Born in the predominantly African-American neighborhood of Harlem, New York, she was raised by a single mother who looked Chinese:
"When my mother opened the door and told me that dinner is ready, other kids would be very surprised," Paula says. "Sometimes, they'd start using racial slurs."
Madison's father was African-Jamaican and left her mother when she was three.
"My mother always looked sad because she was away from her family," she says. "I've known for my whole life that my grandfather is Chinese. I thought helping my mother find her family would make her happy."
Paula knew that her grandfather had gone to Jamaica from China in 1905 to work on a sugar plantation and after his contract was fulfilled, he stayed in Jamaica to open a store."
Jamaica has a big Chinese population, 1 of the richest men in Jamaica has Chinese ancestry.
"A month after the discovery, she traveled to China to meet her uncle and her extended family although her mother, who died in 2006, never had a chance to meet them.
She learned that her tiny family in Harlem has 400 living members in China and she had a family tree going back 3,000 years.
"It felt like a hole in my heart and my soul has finally been filled," she says.
Large numbers of Hakka migrated to the Caribbean in search of work in the 19th and early 20th century, and inter-marriage rates were high. By 1920, at least 4,000 Chinese immigrants lived in Jamaica, Madison found through the course of her research."
Since she found out about her family in Shenzhen, Madison has been back to China 13 times. This year alone, she's traveled to China four times.
Because she wanted other people in her position to have the same experience, on her most recent trip in November of this year she invited two more African-Americans with Chinese heritage along -- including her cousin, John Eckel
.
Eckel's grandfather was from the same village in Shenzhen as Madison's grandfather and also traveled to Jamaica, where he wed Eckel's grandmother in an arranged marriage.
"I'm very close to my extended family in Jamaica," he says.
Eckel's mother was born in Jamaica and went on to pursue a degree at Boston College when she was 16. After she graduated, she moved to New York City, where she met her husband, who is Trinidadian.
Until this trip, Eckel had never been to China before. He had no idea what to expect.
"When I need to fill out my ethnicity form, I sometimes tick the 'other' box and write down multicultural," he laughs.
"Sometimes I'd check Caucasian, African-American and Asian at the same time."
